skoisirius (570), Seattle, Washington, USA Aug 25, 2008 Also finally found this one on tap at Belmont...stoked! Pours a fairly darker brown with lighter tan see through near the edges. Fairly quick dissappearing light tan head. The aroma brings light sweet malts reminding me of cherries, with nuts found being swarmed by a fairly thick kombucha note which permiates everything else once it hits the nostrils. There is some spice in there to, not sure where that carruthm (1112), Seattle, Washington, USA May 13, 2008 A - sour cherries and some oat.
V - one finger head, dark brown, top-level lacing.
T - vanilla, lots of oat, green apples, cinnamon
P - kinda chewy SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA May 16, 2008 draft @ brouwer’s sour fest - intrigued by this heading in and it certainly wasn’t a let down on in interesting factor; murky, dark brown with thin tan head to the edges; aromas are sour and earthy; grainy and a little dirty and fun funky; obvious mushroom aromas come off after it warms up a bit; flavors are a mildly sour mix of dried fruit, wood and some slight funk; honestly, reminded me of food and of childhood memories of the crab cakes at wells breach, maine; some chewy, chocolate flavors come out in the finish as i drank this over several hours; strange and fascinating and unlike anything i’ve had before goldtwins (4079), Nesconset, New York, USA Oct 30, 2007 GABF 2007: Poured a slightly hazey chestnut color with an off-white head. The aroma had a nice sour nose. Caramel malt with mild lactic vinegar. The flavor was nice and smooth with a tart start. The beer finishes with a sweet malt. Light to medium body. arjoseph (594), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 30, 2008 GABF 2007. Huge creamy head over a clear brown orange beer. Nice sub-surface racing is deep and somewhat slow. Smells like fresh apple cider, accented by melony pinot grigio acid. Brett and dark salty yeast textures attach to the back of the tongue after the first sip. Nice level of carbonation. The fruitiness is delayed, emerges in the finish, with soft honey, melon, and crisper cherry notes. There seems to be a little corn sugar in the finish too, and unintegrated sugars floating around all over the place, which detracts mightily from the overall impression. Glad I tried it. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Nov 6, 2007 (Draught) Pours a hazy amber-brown body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of citrus, herbs, cherry, and caramel. Flavor of light lactic sourness and sweet citrus with a dry oak finish. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA May 10, 2008 Draft at Brouwer’s Cafe Sourfest. Opaque dark brown with thinnish tan rim and light lace. Pungent sweet and sour nose that somehow seems to come and go. Rich, creamy body on the high side of medium. Nutty, sugary, cinnamony, red-apple-y mid-palate. Long clinging apple finish. Really beautiful once it warms up a bit. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA May 19, 2009 Dark reddish brown thin head. Sour vinagrette aroma. Maybe a little sour vegetal. Tastes like sour mushroom tea, kombucha. Some sweetness is fruity with a tart finish. Too vegetal for me, but very interesting. Points for creativity.
